Shower tray repair in South Street

What affects the price in South Street

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in South Street, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Shower tray repair in South Street, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. If you’re dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can generally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Landlord and trade work in South Street

For anyone letting property in or around South Street, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

10 questions to ask before you book

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

FAQs for South Street

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Repairing versus replacing in South Street

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for South Street. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
